Dairy Health & Management Services

What Dairy Health & Management Services does

Dairy Health & Management Services, LLC is a privately held dairy consulting firm founded in 2012 and headquartered in Lowville, New York, with a regional office in Torreón, Coahuila, Mexico (operating as Dairy Health & Management Services Mexico S de RL de CV). The firm delivers a team-based portfolio of professional services to modern commercial dairies across the United States and Mexico, organized around four integrated offerings: Feeds & Feeding Management (ration balancing focused on income over feed cost), Animal Health & Reproduction (veterinary herd health and reproductive efficiency), On-farm Research (individual animal and pen-level trials including publicly funded, industry-sponsored, and in-house projects), and The Data Milkhouse (a proprietary data aggregation platform that consolidates outputs from disparate software systems across multiple dairy sites into a single operational dashboard).

The business operates through a direct enterprise sales model with quote-based engagements initiated via a website contact form, phone, or email; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Bilingual English/Spanish capability supports the North American footprint, and services are delivered on-site through ongoing monitoring, training, and market analysis. Revenue is generated through professional services fees from commercial dairy operators, supplemented by grant-funded and industry-sponsored research engagements.

The firm's leadership is concentrated among four managing partners — Frans Vokey (Feeds & Feeding), Mark Thomas (Business Development), Matthew Curler (Data & Information Systems), and Peter Ostrum (Animal Health) — supported by nutrition and animal health consultants, a research project manager, a software developer, and bilingual administrative staff based in both offices. Ownership rests with the managing partners; no institutional investors, parent entity, or capital structure details are disclosed in the available sources.

• Alltech: Alltech is a global animal nutrition and health company offering dairy nutrition consulting, on-farm programs, and research — broadly comparable to Dairy Health's integrated nutrition-plus-research model but at far larger scale.
• Zoetis: Zoetis is one of the largest animal-health pharmaceutical companies and a broad incumbent providing dairy cattle health and reproduction products and services, competing for the same herd-health engagement budget as Dairy Health.
